CHIME Charter

Welcome to CHIME!
CHIME Institute's Schwarzenegger Community School was launched in 2001 with the mission of creating an inclusive school that offered a high-quality education for all students. Today our nationally renown model has been praised by countless educators and families; CHIME was 2004 California Charter school of the Year and 2013 California Department of Education G.O.A.L award winner (Grazer Outstanding Achievement in Learning). Our K-8 school nestled in the west San Fernando Valley offers a dynamic, nurturing, and challenging education program for children ages 5-14.

As an educational partner with Michael D. Eisner's College of Education at Cal State, Northridge, we pride ourselves in putting on display researched based educational approaches for the benefit of our 700+ students as well as for the dozens of student teachers, fieldwork students, and educators who visit our programs every year.

So whether you are a current member of the CHIME community, an interested educator, an aspiring teacher, or the family of a prospective student, I am grateful for your interest in CHIME. I hope you enjoy visiting our website, and I look forward to seeing you soon on campus.

Best,
Dr. Erin Studer
